Striking photographs of the mysterious Islamic tribe where women embrace sexual freedoms, dictate who gets what in divorce and don’t wear the veil because men ‘want to see their beautiful faces’ see photos below
Freedoms: Before young Tuareg women marry, they are allowed to take as many different lovers as they want - as long as they abide by the strict rules of privacy which govern their society
Rules: This means the man must only arrive at her tent after dark, and leave before sunrise. Pictured: A Tuareg woman's decorated hands
Concealed: The men begin to cover their faces at puberty, and will keep them covered in front of their elders and most women. The exception is their wives or girlfriends 
Bond: Every night, the families come together at the tents. The men are traditionally part of the women's group - not the other way round
Centre: It means the mother's tent is the heart of the community - although they do not eat together, and do much separately
Beautiful: It is the men who cover up their faces, while the women are happy to show off their faces - although they often cover their hair
Boundaries: The Tuareg travel across countries, but it has become harder since the colonialists carved Africa up. As a result, the Tuareg have been arguing for secession in Niger and Mali, which has often descended into violent conflict
Huge family: There are thought to be more than a million Tuareg people, separated into different family groups
